Infant Motor Profile

<p><em>The Infant Motor Profile</em> is a practical manual on a new evidence-based method to assess infant motor behaviour. </p><p>Not only looking at what milestones the infant has reached but also paying attention to the quality of motor behaviour – how the infant moves – this text provides professionals involved in the care of infants at risk of developmental disorders with information on five domains of motor behaviour: variation adaptability symmetry fluency and performance. Backed up by extensive up-to-date research it includes percentile curves so that professionals can easily interpret the infants’ scores. The profile created from the assessment informs about the infant’s current condition and their risk of developmental disorders as well as providing suggestions for early intervention tailored to the strengths and limitations of the infant. Used over time it can be an excellent instrument to monitor the infant’s developmental progress. </p><p>Illustrated with numerous figures and accompanied by a website hosting over 100 video clips this text is an essential read for professionals in developmental paediatrics including paediatric physiotherapists occupational therapists developmental paediatricians neuropaediatricians and paediatric physiatrists.</p>
